The Protagonist’s Halo [Arc 1] Chapter 14: Entertainment Circle Vase (19)
In fact, there has been a lot of quarrels among fans of “Empty Star” since the show was aired.
Many people went for Ji Yanhuai, but ended up being fans of Su Man. Although Su Man and Ji Yanhuai had broken up, there were still many fans of Ji Yanhuai who disliked her. When they saw that some fans had left and went to Su Man, they were naturally furious.
The breaking point was that a big fan of Ji Yanhuai turned against him after the show ended.
This big fan is Wu Qian. She had been following the drama secretly, occasionally switching to her secondary account to leave a few comments on the official blog. In Ji Yanhuai’s fan group, she continued to unite with her comrades in the same hatred against the enemy and protested against Su Man’s adding more scenes.
This kind of life under a vest is also very sour and refreshing.
“With Su Man’s poor acting skills, she’d still be a vase even if she hired a bunch of internet trolls.”
Wu Qian, who cried so hard after watching the ending that she used up several boxes of tissues, couldn’t help but retort a few words. She couldn’t control herself for a moment, and was then brutally exposed online. It was also discovered that she followed Su Man’s Weibo under a pseudonym and made various remarks, such as praising Su Man and the director team.
In an instant, Wuyou’s account was attacked by everyone and bombarded with concentrated fire. It was even brutally abused by the forum. It was also ranked first in the hot posts. In less than half an hour, there were thousands of comments below. Everyone was indignant and wanted to kick Wuyou, the traitor, out.
Wu Qian was so hot-tempered that she couldn’t stand it. She started to curse at people in the entire building across the Internet, and she would go to other forums from time to time. It can be said that she was fighting so fiercely that she didn’t even have time to eat.
Finally, Wu Qian directly posted a Weibo post, “From today on, I am a fan of Su Man.”
Now I can support Su Man openly.
Ji Yanhuai’s fans thought they were the winners and forced Wuyou, a fake fan, to flee. However, they didn’t expect that she not only defected herself, but also dragged a large number of fans who were already somewhat wavering to switch sides.
Wu Qian is a little princess who has plenty of time and money and is keen on surfing. She has a deep foundation in the fan circle after years of operation. She is well-known for her sales data and fighting power in the fan circle. The lucky draw and forwarding promotion activities have attracted many little fans to follow her. When she climbed the wall, she also encouraged her fans to climb the wall with her, and they responded to her call.
Ji Yanhuai’s fans were dumbfounded when they saw this.
They just wanted to kick out Wuyou as a traitor, but they didn’t expect to lose so many fans.
Wu Qian’s withdrawal from Ji Yanhuai’s fan club seemed to be a signal. After all, because of the drama “Empty Star”, polarized attitudes appeared among fans. Some changed their opinion of Su Man or even became her fans because of her superb acting skills in the drama, while the other side insisted on their bad impression of Su Man and made even more harsh and ruthless comments about her, which in turn aroused the former’s rebellion. If the situation could not be eased, they did not want to stay and listen to the insults and attacks on Su Man.
You can’t have both the male god and the goddess, so just follow your heart.
After being woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night and seeing the fan loss data sent by the staff, agent Zhou Zhuo was stunned: “…”
Ji Yanhuai’s fans couldn’t just sit there and watch their fans leave, so they went to the person they hated the most—Su Man. Since they couldn’t stop the fans from leaving, they just started to attack Su Man.
The agent Zhou Zhuo’s hired army of trolls was also responsible for this.
Within a few hours, a large number of malicious comments attacking Su Man were posted online.
When Wu Qian first arrived at the Su Man fan club, she didn’t have much confidence. After all, she was once a member who had discredited Su Man. Now that she had turned against them, she still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, many fans here had been severely torn apart by her.
As a result, Su Man’s fans are so weak, none of them can fight. Even though Su Man has gained a lot of fans due to the popularity of “Empty Star”, she has not yet established fan clubs and fan sites. She was also attacked by this kind of concentrated, organized and purposeful black fans, and she failed to react in time, and was occupied by black fans.
Wu Qian’s fighting spirit suddenly reached its full limit. She rolled up her sleeves and started working. She also contacted her old friend Aini.
Although Aini experienced intense inner struggles at first, she withdrew cleanly. Moreover, with her excellent skills, she successfully became a big shot in the Su Man fan camp. She almost edited Su Man’s clips in “Empty Star” into flowers, and also became very popular.
This fan war lasted for several days and was extremely brutal, but it tore Su Man’s fans into a united organization and caused Su Man’s followers on Weibo to increase at a rocket speed. Her popularity was approaching that of first-tier stars, and her fan power grew a lot.
In terms of character setting and roles, Ji Yanhuai completely outshines Su Man, but in the end, Su Man is more popular and has a higher popularity. What can fans say? They are unable to occupy the high ground of public opinion, and many of the fans of the other side are familiar with their attacking operations, so in the end they can only be beaten back step by step.
Agent Zhou Zhuo’s heart was bleeding. He was taken advantage of by Su Man, the vase star he once looked down upon. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was stepping on her to get to the top.
Even the fans have been poached, this is really bloodsucking.
After the wave passed, the situation became clear.
Su Man’s acting skills were simply reborn, and she gained a lot of fans even in a situation that was almost completely against the trend. The entertainment industry is full of people who value profit, and no one can go against profit.
For example, He Cheng, the president of Tianhuang, didn’t expect that he just wanted to do Ji Yanhuai a favor, but he missed it.
Just based on the explosive power that Su Man is showing now, it is worth it for Tianhuang to give her an A-level contract.
There are many companies eyeing Su Man now, and the termination of the contract is not taken seriously at all. Jiangjing Entertainment, which terminated the contract with Su Man, has now become a joke in the circle.
It is not difficult to find out the reason why Su Man terminated her contract. It was originally a conflict with her agent, but it escalated into a conflict between the artist and the company due to the stupid operation of the boss of the agency. Everyone who knows about it thinks that the boss of the company is stupid. Who would give up an artist who can bring benefits for a manager, and this artist has proved that she has huge value.
He Cheng joked to Ji Yanhuai, “Does this mean you lost both your wife and your army?”
It is obvious that Ji Yanhuai was overshadowed in this drama. It was evident that the role of the male protagonist turned into a one-man show by Su Man in the end. No matter how highly the outside world thinks of Su Man, naturally there is not much good to say about Ji Yanhuai.
Ji Yanhuai said calmly, “It’s just a TV show.”
Although He Cheng felt a little sorry for missing out on Su Man, he was also very confident in Ji Yanhuai. “I heard from Zhou Zhuo that you will be joining the crew next month. It will be Director Qin’s big production, right?”
After all, TV dramas are just a small screen. As the youngest winner of three major film awards in China, movies are naturally Ji Yanhuai’s home turf.
A well-known drama critic in the circle posted a long review for Su Man, and the final conclusion was “With such beauty, why do you need such acting skills; with such acting skills, why do you need such beauty.”
Su Man is both beautiful and has good acting skills. She made a complete comeback with this drama and won numerous praises.
As the popularity on Weibo continued, many companies extended olive branches and said that termination of the contract was a small problem and that these problems could be easily solved if Su Man was willing to join their company.
Since the hit of “Empty Star”, Su Man’s popularity has exploded and remained high. She has become completely famous and extremely popular. Mr. Chen of Jiangjing Entertainment regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He felt that he had let go of an opportunity for the company to take off, just like missing out on a lottery ticket worth tens of millions. He was so angry that he didn’t go home for several days.
Mr. Chen also thought about saying nice things and offering favorable conditions, such as equity and firing Yang Jing, to ease the relationship with Su Man.
But given Su Man’s straightforward attitude towards terminating the contract, there is no room for maneuver.
Sure enough, within a few days, Su Man’s new company discussed the termination of the contract with Jiangjing Entertainment.
However, it is not one of the three giants, but a new company established a few years ago, Youyi.
Although it was established not long ago, it has a very strong financial background. I heard that it was previously involved in real estate and other industries, and later entered the entertainment industry. The person in charge is surnamed Shen, Shen Can.
The popular star Shen Duo is his younger brother. Shen Duo’s fans worship their big brother every day. There are even rumors that Shen Can is a brother-con who opened an entertainment agency specifically to make his younger brother a star.
Shen Duo really disliked Ji Yanhuai. He was an idol and was originally very happy, but every time people talked about his acting skills, they would mention Ji Yanhuai and compare him with Ji Yanhuai, or they would praise one while criticizing the other, because Ji Yanhuai had both excellent acting skills and perfect looks.
With the support of Youyi and his big financial sponsor brother, Shen Duo didn’t have to suffer any anger, but he was still very unhappy, so he felt happy when he saw Ji Yanhuai in trouble.
The entertainment industry has never been dominated by one company alone. There are many people in the industry who want to pull the male lead down from the altar.
If Ji Yanhuai took the initiative to show that he wanted to ban Su Man, those people would be even happier, as if they had torn off the noble and cold face of the best actor.
During the time when “Empty Star” was popular, Shen Duo was reading the comments on Weibo and complained to his agent, “Of course I am happy to see Ji Yanhuai’s jokes.”
Seeing that his agent was still jumping up and down and making a fool of himself, Shen Duo had another idea and tried his best to encourage his elder brother to sign Su Man to Youyi.
If for no other reason, just to irritate Ji Yanhuai.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, he heard that the secretary was working on digging out Su Man.
Shen Duo was immediately moved. Although his brother was usually strict with him, he never expected that he cared so much about what he said.
Brother Shen Can: “…”
Why did this kid become so inexplicably neurotic?
However, Brother Shen, who is very career-oriented, has no time to pay attention to his younger brothers What he cares most about now is another thing.
It was not until he saw Su Man in his memory write her name on the contract that Shen Can breathed a sigh of relief and finally signed the most dazzling star of the future.
Shen Can was reborn. As a big man who was devoted to his career and destined to be alone, the first thing he did was to re-plan his career.
The most important step is to find Su Man and sign her.
Su Man, this name will become famous all over the world in the future and everyone will know it.
He asked his secretary to investigate immediately, and found out that the situation was exactly the same as at this point in his previous life. After Su Man finished filming “Empty Star”, she announced her breakup with Ji Yanhuai and was caught up in a contract termination storm.
Jiangjing Entertainment was probably one of the top three jokes in the entertainment industry for decades. Whenever people mentioned adjectives like blind, stupid and incompetent, they would use it as an example. Because of this reputation, fewer and fewer potential artists signed to it, and it eventually went bankrupt and exited the entertainment industry.
What deserves Shen Can’s attention is certainly not a failed company, but Su Man, which he unfortunately missed.
She is not a cash cow or a treasure trove of endless wealth, she is an unrepeatable myth.
But now there are still many people like the CEO of Jiangjing Entertainment who have not realized it.
In Shen Can’s memory of his previous life, after the contract was terminated, Su Man fought alone for a long time and didn’t even have an agent.
By the time she swept the gold awards at the three major international film festivals with one movie and shocked the entire entertainment industry, it was too late. Su Man established her own personal studio and occasionally cooperated with some companies, but always remained independent and did not belong to any company. He didn’t know how many companies were disappointed and sighed.
Shen Can, who also missed this opportunity in his previous life, will naturally not let it go this time. Before everyone knows how high Su Man will reach, signing her is like an investment. By taking advantage of this opportunity, Youyi will rise in the entertainment industry at the fastest speed and become the leading boss in the entertainment industry.
Because Su Man was the person who dominated the entertainment industry in her previous life.
There is no more profitable business than this.
The rewards it can bring are more than a hundred or a thousand times.
Shen Can was slightly excited, it was really great.
Xiao Han felt that the new boss looked at her in a strange way. Could it be because of his brother Shen Duo? This was the only thing Xiao Han could think of.
Xiao Han also has some impression of Shen Duo. In the original plot, he and Ji Yanhuai were at loggerheads with each other. He deliberately pursued the heroine Pei Yiren and even fell in love with her. But as long as there was no problem with the contract, Xiao Han didn’t care about his relationship with the hero and heroine.
Among all the companies that have sent invitations so far, from the three giants to the first- and second-rate companies, the one with the most generous and relaxed conditions is Youyi, which also offers the top treatment for their company’s artists.
No matter how good the conditions were at his previous company, Jiangjing Entertainment, it had its ceiling and could not compare to Youyi at all. Moreover, given the boss’s shallow and short-sighted vision, Xiao Han would not continue to stay in such a company with no future.
She also learned a little about Youyi. Putting aside those rumors, it was clear that it had a plan to enter the entertainment industry, and it showed a sharp enterprising spirit. In this novel world with the entertainment industry as the background, it was obvious that the entertainment industry was developing very well and had a strong momentum. It was definitely a good choice to focus the new career on the entertainment industry.
The most important point is that the boss of this company has vision.
When Xiao Han met CEO Shen Can for the first time and asked why he valued her so much and gave her top treatment, Shen Can said without hesitation, “I want to do my best and become the leader of this circle. The next goal is Tianhuang, so I must have the best stars.”
He looked directly at Xiao Han with a determined gaze, and the meaning seemed self-evident.
Xiao Han didn’t expect that the president of the new company had such high expectations of her, but she was still very happy to hear the praise.
